rns Curse ON shsnhsrainr.

So, to a bankrupt miner there was little
else offering but the occupation of a
vaquero or a herder of sheep. These
straightway descended to the level of the
despised ''greasersr and "diggers." The
curse of 'degradationu which the negroes
have fastened upon plantation labor in
the south, the Indians and the Mexican
half breeds have riyeted on shepherding
in California.
The ranks are largely filed with the
riff raft; disappointed miners, reckless
and unhappy wanderers cursing their
luck, cursing the world who gamble away
their wage as soon as received, going from
one ranch to another many times a year,
swelling the blanket brigade;'' de-
sorting sailors from ships lying in
San Francisco bay, who sell their
blankets and s'tackle'' for a pillow case
full of biscuits and then go hungry for
days until they find a situation; "Sydney
ducks" from Australia; old soldiers, who
do not know the difference between a dry
flock and a breeding fock-who fall
asleep at their post and let a coyote catch
and devour a lamb. The old miner is like
the old soldier, he will not work. In the
lonesomeness and isolation of the shep-
herds life he finds a congenial refuge;
and as he vagabondizes the long summer
after his gadding flock, hammer In hand,
he scans every piece Of ''foat," turns
over every bowlder, prospecting to the
end-a man in whom tks love of gold Is
less than the love of finding it. The
ineradicable virus of the placer gravel and
the long tom is In his blood, and will be
until he takes up his last little claim, two
by seven.-Stephen Powers in Outing.

Our little son will be four years of age
on the 25th inst. In May, 1885, he was
attacked with a very painful breaking out
of the skin. We called in a physician
who treated him for about four weeks.
The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out. sup
posed by the physician to be hives in an
aggravated form, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up in
the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called
other physicians, until no less than six
had attempted to cure him, all alike fail.

we gave him only one dose of the Resol.
vent about every second day for about ten
days longer, and he has never been

An Alleged Error.

A popular fallacy, according to Mr.. A.
W. Hare, of the Royal Society of Edin-
burgh, is the belief that water from q
rushing torrent is safer for drinking pur-
poses than water from a sluggish stream,
for the reverse is really the fact. Sewage
contaminated water contains fewer or,
ganisms after ten or twelve days than
river water, for the reason that the
microbes rapid growth during the first
two or three days exhausts their food

The Virginia Debt Commission.

members OF your committee differed 10 some eX-
tent, as the amount OF revenue applicable TO the
payment OF interest on the debt, your committee
felt compelled TO say to them most firmly, that

special to the Cincinnati Enquirer from An

Daeville situated eight miles east OF this city, is
wild with excitement. Within its corporate limits
lies s1x-year-old child in death, the victim OF a
step-father's horrible barbarity. What adds hor-
ror to the affair is that this is the second child
that has been sacrificed within the past four weeks
by the british fathers wrath. Under the gufSe OF
disease 1t was claimed that the children died a
natural death. However, investigation proves this
to be utterly false for upon the bodies OF the little
suffers were found frightful gaShes and welts; in
fact, the unfortunate children were literally cut
to pieces

The Charges Against Mr. Dillon.

GLADSTONE CITES PRECEDENTs FOR THE APPOINT
MENT OF COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY.
In the house OF commons yesterday considera-
ton OF the question OF breach OF privilege In the
2fmes-Dion case was resumed. Speaker Peel put
before the house the amendment OF Mr.. Edward
Clarke, solicitor general, that the house decline TO
treat the Times publication rs a breach OF priv
lege. The ParnellteS at once challenged divi-
sion This resulted In vote OF 297 In favor Of the
amendment to PIG against IL. The amendment
thus became substantial motion.
Mr.. Gladstone moved an amendment that a COM
mittee be appointed TO inquire into the charge OF
wilful falSehood made against Mr.. Dillon in the
Times on Monday. He said he did not intend TO
suggest that the inquiry go beyond the article re-
ferred 60. He objected TO Lord Randolph church
tls calling him the leader OF the party OF separa
ton. He perfectly understood WHY Lord RAN
dolph did not call 1T the party of homc-rule. There

precedentS all on the side of the appointment

that Mr.. Gladstone had put the issue In the clear

GERS OF the crown was mistaken An examination
parallel TO the present; that there never was a
case where the government directed an inquiry
into charge where the authorship was admitted
and the party accused OF libel expressed willing
ness to justify. The house had never dealt with a
charge OF falSehoOd as matter OF fact in which 1t
should interfere. Not single case existed In mod

OF the house had been treated breach II priyi-
lege. II such a precedent should once be cStab-
Nshed there would probably be breach OF priyi-
lege every week.

Two ladies living on New jersey avenue near

been annoyed by crowd Of half-grown white boys
congregating at the parking fence every evening
and using offensive language Last evening she
made up her mind to keep them away. Some OF
them appeared earlier than usual and were driven
on Later one OF the ladies covered the fence with
row OF sharp tacks, thinking the others might
appear and SIT upon them. They appeared, but
instead OF sitting down they stood near the fence
and carried OF the tackS. The tackS failing
to have the desired effect one OF the ladies pro-
cured quart OF black molasSss which she poured
on the fence: The boys passed and looked, but did
not stop. Presently two ladies came along and
one OF them placed her hand on the fence. She
jumped and then looked at her hand, gave the
ladies black look and went on. Presently another
member OF the crowd came along, and not know
ing about either the tacks or the molasseS he sat
upon the rail- but he made his visit very short and
the washer-woman will no doubt have an extra
garment to practice upon. Finally cOlored boy
about II or Is years OF age came along, and he OF
course, ran bis hand along the fence. "MolaSses"
he cried out. as he ventured to taste it, and once
getting the taste OF it, he made the best part of it
disappear. The boys however, did not bother
the ladies last evening" who propose to repeat the
dose each evening.
